Have I Mentioned...

...that in a very short time, my husband will get to meet our baby girl for the very first time?!?!  I cannot wait to have him home!

4 Months!

SJ turned four months old on Saturday and had her well-baby check-up this morning.  She's doing wonderfully, weighing 14 lbs, 9 oz, and she's 26 inches long!  She's in the 70th percentile for weight and 92nd percentile for height.  The pediatrician also said her motor and verbal skills are closer to 6 months than 4, so she's a little advanced in those areas, too! :)

In the past few days she's really started getting mobile.  When she was a newborn, she loved tummy time, but usually preferred to use it to take a nap.  Then just after she turned 3 months, she began screaming as soon as I put her on her tummy.  A few days ago she decided she liked it again, and she's been working really hard at rolling over.  I haven't seen her flip tummy to back yet, but I caught her roll back to tummy once almost a month ago.  She scared herself that time and didn't try it again until over the weekend, but now it's a battle to get her to lay still long enough for a diaper change!  Also, she flipped herself around in her bed last night and was very confused when she woke up lol.  And she has figured out how to scoot herself around on her back and is working on army crawling on her tummy!  It seems like all of that happened overnight, and I'm not ready for it!!

And in other news, I wish I could yell from the rooftops how soon homecoming is!  Obviously that would be a violation of OPSEC and I wouldn't want to say anything to put my husband and the other sailors in danger, but it's so close!  I can't wait for SJ to finally meet Daddy, and for him to meet his baby girl.  What a wonderful day it will be!
